Richard's work has had an impact throughout Coquitlam and other communities, and on the individuals who live there. Council candidates and elected officials had this to say about Richard:
"Richard Stewart's popularity as our Coquitlam Mayor is well deserved. His genuine interest in our community regularly surpasses expectations. He takes the time to understand issues, know the history, and gather insight, while always respecting different viewpoints. Richard is an exemplary public service leader."- Chuck Denison, DPAC43 President
"Richard Stewart has done a great job as Mayor in representing the city of Coquitlam. He is articulate and direct on issues facing our community, and builds respect across the region."- Brent Asmundson, Coquitlam Councillor
"As a Coquitlam resident I support Richard Stewart. Richard has been a good friend for all Coquitlam residents, he has been very supportive of all the communities, and his accessibility - the fact that people can reach him and see him definitely has a real impact on the quality of the services everyone gets from the City of Coquitlam."- Araz Rismani, strong community-involved citizen, former Council candidate 2011
"Richard's leadership and communications skills and his pragmatic and balanced approach have provided real benefits at the regional level on transportation, planning, policing, and other issues, not only for his community but for the entire region. As we face increasing challenges in the future, it is important that we work cooperatively with one another to ensure we have a sustainable and liveable region. I've enjoyed a good working relationship with Richard, as have other mayors in the region, and I believe Coquitlam has been well-served."- Dianne Watts, Surrey Mayor
"Thanks Richard, for being such a great ambassador for our city. I'm continually amazed at your energy. Not only are you constantly at meetings here in Coquitlam, you also represent us throughout the Lower Mainland AND find time to attend community events and special occasions. You're doing a great job!" - Barb Hobson, Former Chair - Board of School Trustees SD #43, and current Trustee candidate
"Richard, you are an amazing networker, both on-line and in person! Your willingness to communicate on issues, your dedication to our Tri-Cities communities, your advocacy for your city and individuals within it...these are just some of the qualities I have come to appreciate over the last few years." - Elaine Willis, Community Advocate & Candidate, Anmore Council
"I believe in Mayor Stewart because he gets people engaged, and brings the diverse communities of Coquitlam together. Richard cares about the residents of Coquitlam - he does everything he can to restrain spending to make sure that taxes stay low. Like many Coquitlam residents, I had to take the bus to work every day, and it took 90 minutes. However Richard was able to convince the other mayors of Metro Vancouver to support the Evergreen Line. He delivered. It was a promise that was made decades ago, and now thanks to Richard, it will be complete in 20 months!" - Andy Shen, Coquitlam city council candidate

An excerpt from the book by PUMLA DINEO GQOLA.
The manufacture of female fear uses the threat of rape and other bodily wounding but sometimes mythologises this violence as benefit. Under capitalism work is codified as respectability. Those who are without work are shamed while those who work are said to have dignity. To want to work redeems the worker from a fate of uselessness, dependency and laziness. Those who seek to take the factory apart, want to determine compensation or want to own their labour are demonised.
Like a real factory, it takes up public physical space, requires many bodies and different components. Like an assembly line, it involves movement with the addition of components as the belt moves seamlessly from post to post. It is a machine set to work in one direction and one that could injure those who get in the way. Interfering promises injury to any body parts that attempt to interfere with the process. It needs a power source and is a very effective process of production. Its products are for ready consumption and although harmful it finds such high circulation that it seems normal. Although the product is female fear, its products are generalised fear in all audiences.
The threat of rape is an effective way to remind women that they are not safe and that their bodies are not entirely theirs. It is an exercise in power that communicates that the man creating fear has power over the woman who is the target of his attention; it also teaches women who witness it about their vulnerability either through reminding them of their own previous fear or showing them that it could happen to them next. It is an effective way to keep women in check and often results in women curtailing their movement in a physical and psychological manner.
The manufacture of female fear works to silence women by reminding us of our rapability, and therefore blackmails us to keep ourselves in check. It also sometimes works to remind some men and trans-people that they are like women, and therefore also rapable. It is a public fear that is repeatedly manufactured through various means in many private and public settings. This chapter, on the female fear factory explores the many sites wherein female fear is manufactured. South Africa's public culture is infused with this phenomenon.
The manufacture of female fear requires several aspects to work: the safety of the aggressor, the vulnerability of the target, the successful communication by the aggressor that he has power to wound, rape and/or kill the target with no consequences to himself. Women are socialised to look away from the female fear factory – to pretend it is not happening and to flee when ignoring it becomes impossible. Patriarchy trains us all to be receptive to the conditions that produce – and reproduce – female fear, especially when it is not our own bodies on the assembly line.
Examples illustrate best, they can work as evidence, and it is to four examples that I now turn for recognition and illumination
In the winter of 2013, feminist Lebo Pule shared a story about being in a shop in the Johannesburg CBD where a young man harassed a young woman. It is a familiar site where violence, gender and sexuality rub up against one another. As Pule looks on, the young man tries to get the young woman's attention by calling out to her, addressing her in increasingly direct ways. When she continues to ignore him, his aggression grows, he starts to goad her.
Although she does not utter any words, she communicates her disinterest in his attention through her body language, a language that is recognisable to Pule and the other spectators in the shop, and also one clearly understood by the young man in pursuit. She does not speak back. When he persists, she walks away, all the while refusing to return his gaze.
In various ways hers is an attempt to pretend he is not there, to wish him away and to create distance between them. This clearly communicates that his attention is unwelcome. When she realises that none of this will have the intended effect, the young woman turns around and pointedly informs him that she is not interested in talking to him and that he should leave her alone. She tells him to go away.
He says, "That is why we rape you."
An enraged Pule intervenes, interrogates the man asking him first, "How is that why you rape women?", and then "How many women have you raped?"
Increasingly the rest of the shop watches in slight shock at Pule's confrontation of the young man. They find her behaviour strange, are surprised that she intervened and will not let it go, making the young man uncomfortable.
They are so accustomed to this kind of behaviour that it is not the young man's threats that are strange, but Pule's refusal to let him continue.
The shopkeepers keep quiet.
The harassed young woman turns around and tries to console and reassure Pule, telling her "Don't get yourself so worked up, my sister, we're used to these dogs speaking like this to us. They are rubbish."
Various versions of this story play themselves out in public spaces several times a day. At the same time, there are specific special aspects to this particular incident. The first is the refusal of the young man to take 'no' for an answer. While the woman knows his is a refusal rather than a misunderstanding, she is determined to communicate her 'no' in various ways, with increasing levels of assertiveness. She is unequivocal. He cannot claim to have misunderstood. At the same time, the young woman knows that she is not safe even in this public place with several other people present. Consequently, she tries to escape first his gaze by looking away and pretending not to hear him. When this attempted symbolic escape fails, she tries to escape again by walking away, moving away from the unwanted attention.
If she is determined to reassert her refusal, he is determined to remind her of its insignificance. She cannot escape and he knows this. In case she does not know it, he will remind her. With increasing aggression, he reminds her that she cannot get away from unwanted attention, that he feels entitled to her time, her mind and her body. When she tells him to go away, he reminds her that he does not care about what she wants. She does not matter. She is not entitled to her body. He is entitled to everything: her attention, her body, and everyone's eyes and ears in the shop.
The directness of his allusion to rape is the finishing touch. He will have her regardless of what she wants. He reminds her of his complete power and her powerlessness. The use of the plural is particularly striking here because it renders in explicit, crude language publicly what often appears only by implication: both he and she belong to types, are representative. It is the ultimate expression of men's entitlement to women's bodies: she can surrender to his advances or she can be made to submit. Either way, he has power over her.

I still remember THE moment I knew I wanted to be a critical care nurse. Yes, I broke the mold. I eventually was a new grad nurse in the ICU.
Almost 15 years and two degrees later I'm now an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner still working in the ICU.
Yep. You could say I love it.

MY FAVORITE definition of love is, "It is a feeling between two hearts decorated with pity, quarrel, and reconciliation." This definition gave me three children. It is still a part of my advocacy and it gives me (still) "bounce back ability."
On Valentine's Day, we remember Cupid. His is the God of erotic love who in Western art is portrayed as a mischievous boy or young man with wings and a quiver who shoots arrows into the hearts of the mortals. "Gold-tipped arrows" are for love and "lead-tipped arrows" are for hate.
Once (before my marriage), my Hindu friend in the teaching profession taught me "sexual variety" from Ananga Ranga, an Indian love manual for married couples… monkey, crab, splitting bamboo, etc. "These positions keep a relationship alive!" It made me laugh but I did not try one. A combination of all those is more effective.
Valentine's Day is about love… boy and girl, man and woman. Sometimes you just have to accept that some people can only be in your heart, but not in your life. Love is full of challenges. You may or you may not make it. Expecting is the crime; disappointment is the punishment. In loving, you have to learn to live half alive.
Don't be a road-ender in love. When life throws you lemons just bring out the tequila. Even the gays have their personal involvement in love (no hiding of self). When asked, "Are you gay or straight?" The expected possible answer is, "Straight, straight girl!" He cannot hide that he is "gay positive".
On Valentine's Day (or even before), you should do some soul-searching. Who knows, you might find one yourself. Do not trust in front of the mirror. Mirrors don't talk and they don't laugh either. Men should know their roles… boys, too. On this day boys want to be popular. Men seek to be respected. Boys make girls laugh (or cry). Men make ladies moan and scream.
It cannot be avoided. Someone has to chase and someone would love to get caught, or it could be the other way around. That could be bad. If what is expected did not materialize, someone would insult and some would be insulted. If you are insulted by someone who is the object of your love…think positive. "Your insult would hurt me more if it were grammatically correct. Hating me won't make me ugly; and it won't make you pretty either.
Old men may have a different interpretation of Valentine's Day. They would like to believe that their once "strong dinosaur" is already extinct. They can still be productive by thinking of their beautiful women in the past and say, "They are frigid and mine is rigid." It goes without saying that you could plant bacon and it would grow into a Bacon Tree. Just pick them all when they are crunchy already.
A husband and a wife may go out on Valentine's Day for a change. If they decide to stay at home to avoid traffic congestion, that could be perfect. They should simply lock the master's bedroom so that the children could not disturb them. Don't forget to write this outside the door, Crime Scene: Do Not Enter. It is effective. You can cross your heart and hope to die.
For the old maids, you may be single but desperate. Accept the fact that you are like a beer… super dry but someone have to prove it. If you don't, you are a field of roses wasted on you. You can try and tell me later on. I wish you all the best of luck!
Mall dating is a fad on Valentine's Day. When you see a "hot chick" with a super ugly boyfriend that is not a relationship; that is a hostage situation! One can make many conclusions. Love doesn't die. It can only be silenced. When love is no longer blind, it doesn't like what it sees. It could be that one loves too much, and the other loves too many.
Love for each other should not die but it does not always work that way. Love dies when you now ask, "Why?" Later, you will ask, "Why not?" Sometimes, it slowly dies with every pound she gains. Love dies (to a man) when you can no longer offer any "wood" that will keep the "fire" burning. Love may die to make room for a new one. Love is flexible as that.
In the family, love dies because you let it. It could die because of two women (third party) standing in between the husband and wife… Mis(s) communication and Mis(s) understanding. Husband and wife should remove the "tangled wires" in their life. They should tell each other, "You are really hard… to be forgotten. You are my "happiest hello" and my "saddest goodbye."
In itself, love is not perfect. Make it perfect. To fall in love is awfully simple; to fall out of love is simply awful. Some good things never last, most don't even start. Start loving and make it last. Happy Valentine's Day!

text: Your birthday came early; shoots and leaves from the trees in the yard, fingers on the glass when we woke. Too drunk to fuck you watched with half-moon eyes sly from wine when I tried; the gentle thrum of cartoons through the wall a sad serenade. By late afternoon a storm churned outside, dark clouds burst; the moon a wink on the horizon. You cooked eggs while I slept the whistle from the kettle shrill when it came to the boil.

A huge thank you to Heather Hewitt, my first guest post writer! She has some awesome and easy ideas for a super sweet 16 party! Check it out!
Turning sixteen is a major milestone in any teen girl's life and most want to celebrate with their best friends. But shows like MTV's popular My Super Sweet 16 – which features extravagant and expensive Sweet 16 parties – may have set some unrealistic expectations in your daughter's mind. However, it's still possible to throw a bash worthy of this momentous occasion without overspending. Consider the following tips when setting out to plan your teen's Sweet 16.
- Ask her what she wants. Much as you might wish she was, she's not a little kid anymore – which means she is capable of helping you plan. Even if you plan to do most of the work, ask your daughter what she envisions for her party. Encourage brainstorming and don't discount any ideas just yet. Even if some of her ideas are outside the realm of possibility due to budget constraints, let her dream – and then get creative.
- Establish a budget. Your daughter might not be the only one likely to get carried away with fun ideas. In order to reign in your spending, create a budget for yourself and stick with it! It's possible to throw a completely amazing party without going into debt in the process.
- Choose a fun theme. There are many popular party themes you can choose from, including everything from western, Hawaiian luau, disco, dance party, decades or glitz and glamour. You can also create a theme based on your teen's favorite movie, band or TV show. Don't be afraid to move outside the box and brainstorm creative ways to incorporate a new theme.
- Select a location. Once you have a theme in mind, it is easier to come up with a location that will support that theme. For example, if you're throwing a luau bash, you'll probably want to hold the party poolside. If everyone is dressing up like red-carpet royalty, a small hotel ballroom or dance hall might work nicely.
- Remember the basics. At the end of the day, every party – no matter the theme – needs great invitations, food, décor and activities:
- Invitations. An affordable way to spread the word is to create your own Sweet 16 invitations online, simply select one that will suit the theme. When you design invites online, you can select from a variety of colors, styles and fonts to create the perfect invitations. (If your family is throwing a quinceañera instead of a Sweet 16, check out available quinceañera invitations online.)
- Food. Teenagers love to eat and most are not extremely particular. For several parties, you can probably get away with serving appetizers and pizza. However, consider the theme and whether certain foods would fit better. For example, if you throw a fancy Hollywood-style party, serve mini quiches and meatballs on platters carried by waiters (who can simply be some relatives and friends you press into service!). If your chosen theme is a luau, serve pineapple and jerk chicken.
- Décor. Remember to search for bargains! Find decorations to match your theme, or get crafty and make them yourself. Enlist your teen and some of her best friends to help.
- Activities. Again, choose activities to match your theme. Arrange for guests to do everything from shopping, heading to the spa for manis/pedis, playing games, dancing, swimming, etc.
Whatever kind of party you throw, make it memorable. Remember to ask your daughter what she wants and don't be afraid to try something new. Sweet 16 is a great reason to celebrate!
Author Bio: Heather Hewitt is a seasoned writer and guest author who enjoys connecting people with thoughtful products, services and ideas as they relate to crafting, photography, gift giving and personal expression.

About JH Portrait Design
Before he could enroll in his first middle school class, Jim Hilgedick already had a portfolio of his own pictures. At the age of 9, Jim began teaching himself film development and printing, and before long, he was documenting graduations, school events, and vacations. His enlistment into the Army in 1985 initiated a 19-year hiatus from photography, which finally ended when he founded JH Portrait Design.
Inspired by the inextinguishable passion he had for photography in his youth, the award-winning photographer specializes in portraits of high school seniors. Jim snaps artful pictures of students in his studio or at locations meaningful to them, from their favorite park in town to their favorite hiding place for their lunch money. After each session, he retouches images to remedy any blemishes or dark circles, and arranges prints into products such as wall portraits, folios, and books.

I currently have the stock 300k pots volume pots and the 100k tone pot in my 1990 LP. Can I combined the 300k volume with the 500k tone? Or should I just go 500 all the way.

SUSAN M. BAGANZ chases after three Hobbits and is a native of Wisconsin. She is an Acquisitions Editor with Prism Book Group, specializing in bringing great romance novels and novellas to publication. Susan writes adventurous historical and contemporary romances with a biblical world-view.
Her story:
My first ever pitch, I sat across from Blythe Daniel and a mentor had told me to start out with something personal. I looked at Blythe and said "Is your hair naturally curly?" We had a little commiseration over that. Later she came to me and we talked about kids with chicken pox. The next morning she sat across from me at dinner and we chatted about life and kids. A day later she came to sit with me at breakfast which, at that conference, was a time when authors were forbidden to connect with faculty (so they usually ate separate). I told her I was beginning to think she was stalking me. She never did become my agent, probably because she didn't get my weird sense of humor.
Another day, same conference, I sat with Eddie Jones and pitched my book. We engaged in a spirited debate on various aspects of the project for a good ten minutes before he finally said, "Send me the full manuscript." We ended up not working together but I remember how once I had done that, I wasn't afraid to pitch anything to anyone anymore.
You can learn more about Susan by following her blog www.susanbaganz.com, her twitter feed @susanbaganz or her fan page, www.facebook.com/susanmbaganz
JODIE WOLFE got bitten by the writing bug as a young girl after reading and watching Little House on the Prairie. She loves writing stories about feisty heroines and strong, godly heroes. The power of story to influence lives and change hearts is what motivates her to weave tales that tell of the Savior's faithfulness and forgiveness. She writes a column for Home School Enrichment magazine and has received awards in contests.
Her story:
An impression. A prompting. A thought. A single step of faith. An act of obedience. As Christians, we often have them throughout the day. Times where we feel God (the Holy Spirit) is prompting us to do something. It could be as simple as expressing a word of encouragement, praying for someone, moving in a direction He is showing you to go. It can be a reminder to call someone.
I had such an opportunity a week ago. I felt prompted to ask a question concerning a contest that was held just days before. I figured it was closed since it was to take place over the weekend and that entries were no longer accepted, but I couldn't get past the feeling that I still needed to ask.
The answer came back, yes the contest was closed, but the blogger was open to still taking a look at my writing pitch. I debated and prayed and almost didn't send back what was requested. But I couldn't deny the overwhelming sense to follow through.
Linda S. Glaz emailed back within 20 minutes and loved my pitch. She wanted to see more and asked for the first five pages of my book. I admit to starting to feel a bit panicked at this point. I realized then that Linda was an actual agent. Yikes! What had I gotten myself into? While she read I perused the site she represents - Hartline Literary Agency. Honestly, when I looked at all the requirements they had for submitting to them I was overwhelmed.
I prayed, "Lord there is no way I can do something like this. You'll just have to work it out and provide an agent when the time is right because it's not something I can do on my own." It was soon after my prayer that Linda corresponded again wanting to see more of my novel - the whole thing - providing I wasn't already represented by someone.
Again with much prayer I emailed her my whole manuscript, seeking God for His wisdom. His timing. She responded back hours later after reading it and offered to represent me.
God opened a writing door when I wasn't even expecting it. A single act of obedience provided an open door. I'm forever grateful.
You can find Jody's ponderings on her website, http://www.jodiewolfe.com.
PATRICIA BEAL Originally from Brazil, Patricia is a Christian author, Army wife, and ballerina. She writes contemporary romance and is represented by the Leslie H. Stobbe Literary Agency. She is a 2015 Genesis semi-finalist and has completed two manuscripts.
Her story:
My grandmother died on the first night of my first ACFW conference, the one in St. Louis last year. My mom called me soon after the last spotlight session. It was almost midnight in Brazil, where I'm from and where it'd just happened. Back home people get buried fast, so I knew there was nothing I could do. The following day my mom gave me the website of the funeral home, and in the afternoon I would be watching the cremation ceremony online. I didn't want to do conference anything—I was a mess. But I had a 10:15 editor appointment with Amanda Bostic, editorial director of fiction at HarperCollins Christian Publishing.
My mom urged me to go. It's 15 minutes, she said. So I got dressed, got my folder, and I went.
I knew I looked like I'd cried all night, so I told her what had happened, but also said I was glad I'd got it together and that I was there—ready to pitch. I jumped right into pitch mode, and the pitch was good, praise God.
Amanda was so sweet and caring. She gave me her card and asked me to email the proposal to her after the conference. She urged me to meet as many agents as possible while in St. Louis, because even if she liked the proposal, she would need me to have an agent. Then she asked if she could pray with me. She reached for my hands and prayed for me and for my family. And I was so touched. And she was so touched. I will never forget that moment.
That afternoon, I watched my grandma's funeral online from my hotel room. Not a good day. But with the conference worship events and the prayers sent my way, I woke up well on Saturday and booked tons of extra pitches, all with agents, like Amanda said I should. I just kept getting back in line and pitching to anyone who had an opening. I pitched to each of the four agents in Mills 9—it was pretty comical. I finished the day with five agents interested in seeing my proposal.
Two weeks after the conference, Les Stobbe offered to represent me.
Amanda ended up sending us a rejection in March, but I will always remember her compassion, and I credit her for the sweet blessing of having Les Stobbe in my life. I wouldn't have an agent today if she hadn't urged me to meet as many agents as possible while at the conference.
Praise God for orchestrating these meetings that comfort us and move us closer to His will.
Patricia is very active online and would love to connect on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/patricia.beal.author) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/bealpat). You can also sign up for her newsletter and learn more about her work at www.patriciabeal.com.

Heeeeyyyy friends, today I'm sharing my JULY | LIFESTYLE FAVORITES with you!!!
These are things I was loving for the month of July.
I love reading and watching these types of video on YouTube & reading other bloggers blog posts on this subject.
For me I get ideas of products that I didn't maybe know about or skeptical of trying. It's basically like reading the review section on a product and seeing how some of your favorite people liked it.
Well the next few things I'm sharing (in no particular order) are things I LOVED for the MONTH of JULY!
One thing I noticed is that in summer I read a lot less...
I think because the weather is nice that we are busy outside, kids are playing and by the time we come inside & are done with work I don't feel like reading.
But...the last few weeks have been super-super humid that as soon as chores or morning outside play is over, we're inside in the a/c and perfect timing because
ELIN HILDERBRAND just came out with her latest book, THE IDENTICALS!
The Perfect Smoothie (3 servings)
2 Cups Water
2 Handfuls Half & Half Mix (Spring Mix Greens & Spinach)
2 Apples Sliced & Cored
1½ Cups Frozen Fruit Salad Blend
½ Banana
1 Scoop Protein Powder
2 Tbsp. Flax Seed
2 Packets Stevia
Place the water, greens and apples in the blender and blend until liquefied. Next add you frozen fruit, banana, protein, flax & stevia and blend. One all combined place equally in 3 glass mason jars or whatever cup and air tight lid you have.
I've shared this product with you all before but, I L-O-V-E this products!!!
Clinique's Super City Block is the perfect sunscreen, it's not white, it's SPF 40 and it's oil free.
I consider it another part of my daily skincare routine, after my moisturizer. Then I'm protected for the day and I feel good that I'm taking care of my skin!
I hope you all enjoyed my July favorites and these are all products I used just about everyday for the month of July.
If you didn't see our family trip to Kansas City, you can check it out here!
Talk to you all soon,

The Parksville District and Qualicum Flyers will be treating some of the region's senior citizens to a unique air show.
The local club will be showing off and flying different radio-controlled aircrafts on Friday. The invited seniors will come from different care homes in the area.
This will be the second year the Flyers are hosting this event.
"It's our way of paying back to the community and putting some smiles on these people's faces," said Flyers' secretary Greg Brunt.
The seniors invited to the event, which will feature over 25 model aircrafts, are from Nanaimo Seniors, Cokely Manor, The Gardens at Qualicum Beach, Eagle Park and Trillium.
This year, Brunt said, one of their main features will be Snoopy on his dog house going after the Red Baron. There will be a couple of Electric Ducted Fan (EDF) Jets. said Brunt. "They look like jets and they sound like jets."
As well, dogfights will be staged. Ribbons are attached to each plane and the objective is to cut them from each other.
There will also be some aerobatic performances. "We just want to give them something to look at, the ins and outs," said Brunt.
The seniors will also be treated to lunch.

Tis indeed Judgment Day, and no one's gonna be too surprised by this one. Paramount has pulled the untitled TERMINATOR: GENISYS sequel from its release schedule, suggesting a very grim future for the franchise.
Back in 2014, Paramount was feeling confidant about their new movie and had given the new TERMINATOR 2 a May 19, 2017 release date, followed by a June 29, 2018 release for TERMINATOR 3. Things have changed drastically since then. Yesterday, Paramount slotted the BAYWATCH movie in TERMINATOR 2's place and didn't give it a new home. This means they're either going to completely retool the series - yet again - or they're putting it to bed for now.
Per Variety, under copyright rules, North American rights to The Terminator franchise would revert back to James Cameron in 2019. Cameron has said in the past he's not interested in re-visiting the character he created, although he is currently converting TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY into 3D, so who knows? Maybe that'll relight the fire.
TERMINATOR: GENISYS made an OK $440 million at the worldwide box office, which isn't that much when your budget is in the $200 million range. (It really fell short domestically, racking up only $89 mil.) More importantly, fans - for the most part - were not very smitten with the new direction the franchise had taken. We even lobbied for an end to the TERMINATOR movies back in July, although The Arrow remains a staunch defender of the flick.

Building an Innovation EcosystemFriday, 11th July 2014
Unhealthy food and drinks are common in children's TV programmes broadcast in Ireland and England, and frequently portrayed in a positive light, according from new research from the Graduate Entry Medical School at the University of Limerick. Statutory legislation to curb children's exposure to high sugar and fat food/drink in TV adverts was introduced in the UK in 2007, and similar regulations have recently come on stream in Ireland, however, these regulations are not being applied to programme content.
Professor of Paediatrics at University of Limerick's Graduate Entry Medical School Clodagh O'Gorman and her colleagues assessed the frequency and type of food and drink portrayals in children's TV programmes, broadcast between 0600 and 1700 hours Monday to Friday, on the RTE and BBC TV channels in 2010. Both RTE and BBC are national public broadcast channels that do not carry any commercial product advertising, and which aim to inform, educate, and empower their audiences. All food and drink cues were coded according to type of product, use, motivation, outcome, and the characters involved.
A total of 1155 food and drink cues were recorded across 82.5 hours of programming, accounting for 4.8% of the total broadcast material, and averaging 13.2 seconds for each cue. Just under 40% of the content came from the USA. Sweet snacks (13.3%) were the most common food cue, followed by confectionary/candy (11.4%). Tea and coffee were the most common beverage cue (13.5%), closely followed by sugar sweetened drinks (13%). Unhealthy foods accounted for almost half of food cues (47.5%), while sugary drinks made up 25% of drinks cues. Most of the cues involved a major character, 95% of which were 'goodies.' The cue was presented in a positive light in one in three instances (32.6%), portrayed negatively on almost one in five occasions (19.8%), and neutrally in around half of instances (47.5%). The most common motivating factors associated with each cue were celebratory or social (25.2%) and hunger/thirst (25%). Only 2% of cues were related to health.
Co-author and Director of Research at the Medical School, Prof Colum Dunne, commented "Over 90% of characters were not overweight, despite consuming unhealthy products. This is not a helpful or accurate portrayal of current Irish or UK populations, where overweight and obesity are prevalent and increasingly problematic".
Speaking about the research findings Professor O'Gorman said: "While there is a clear link between exposure to advertising of unhealthy foods and their consumption in young children, the impact of unhealthy food/drink content in TV programmes aimed at children, is not clear. Eating and drinking are common activities within children specific programming with unhealthy foods and beverages especially common and frequently associated with positive motivating factors, and seldom seen with negative outcomes. This is something that parents, policy makers and physicians should be aware of, and this should be balanced by more frequent and positive portrayals of healthy foods and behaviours."
A direct comparison between the content of UK and Irish programmes spanning 27.5 recorded hours showed that food/drink cues were more common on content broadcast on the BBC, with the total recorded time for these amounting to 2.3 hours for content broadcast in the UK and 45.6 minutes for content broadcast on RTE. The published paper Food and beverage cues in UK and Irish children—television programming was published in the Journal - Archives of Disease in Childhood.

It seems that 4-year-old Christian Zampatti will not get to stay with his mommy, despite her impassioned plea for financial support to hire a new detective and appeal attorney to prove her innocence of 14-felony crimes that shocked Ponte Vedra Beach on April 23, 2010.
Andrea Lee Zampatti, the Canton Georgia woman who was 37-years-old at the time she got behind the wheel of her SUV and charged at five civilians and two deputies, then attempted to flee from police, was found guilty of all charges on July 25th, after a non-jury trial that was held May 30th. Even though Zampatti underwent multiple mental health examinations and a toxicology screening after the incident, no clear reason for the rampage has been determined.
"My son and I might be separated forever and we need your help, desperately, to put the REAL criminals behind what happened to me and Christian behind bars," Zampatti wrote on her fundraising website; where 20 contributors donated a total of $925. "I have always been the first to reach out and help everyone I could; and, praise God, I have letters coming in daily to show this, and who I am."
Zampatti was convicted of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer with a deadly weapon, aggravated attempt to elude with serious injury, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer with a deadly weapon, two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon causing bodily harm, two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, six counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and resisting arrest with violence. Today she was sentenced to a 33-year prison term.
Shortly before 7:30 a.m. that morning, deputies responded to a report of a reckless driver who had struck a mailbox on Ponte Vedra Boulevard. The vehicle matched the description of a second report of a hit-and-run vehicle-versus-bicyclist in the 1200 block of South Ponte Vedra Boulevard. The cyclist was taken by air ambulance to UF Health in Jacksonville with serious injuries. Zambatti, who was driving, fled the area and was located by a deputy on Palm Valley Road at the roundabout. Zampatti reversed her vehicle and plowed into the front of the deputy's car and again fled eastbound on Palm Valley Road. She struck another vehicle, and possibly a scooter, as she continued eastbound.
A second deputy deployed stop sticks that Zampatti avoided. She aimed her vehicle at the deputy; but, the first deputy, who was still in pursuit, struck her car, causing it to spin and miss the officer. Zampatti headed westbound and struck another vehicle before striking a box truck, head on, in the area of Landrum Lane. She got out of the vehicle and fled on foot on Landrum Lane; where deputies caught up to her and took her into custody.

Life Goals. I know.
Not only do I want to be more like a prostitute, but I NEED to be. What does that even mean?
Maybe a prostitute is a bit extreme. I guess I could have used the word "harlot". (Which of course, makes me chuckle. Opens my eyes to how far down we really have come. The word "harlot" seems much classier than the trashy word "prostitute." Maybe I should change the title. Oh well. It doesn't change the point.
A few years ago,
(ok, maybe more than a few years ago…) when I was still in college, I went back to my roommates house for Thanksgiving. She drove so I left my car at our house and we headed out for a long weekend. 4 days later I came back and my car was gone. I stood frozen in the kitchen, peering out the back window at the empty spot where I always left my car. The keys were no longer on the hook in the kitchen and the window on the back door had been punched in. I was honestly a bit confused. Nothing was damaged in the house (other than the door) and yet, my car was not where I had left it. It took me a minute to come to and call the police.
Here is where the story gets a bit strange. So I call 911 (which btw, I had never done before. I apologized and said it wasn't an emergency and I wasn't sure if this was the number to call or if I needed to call the police station. They laughed at me and said a police officer would call me back or come by). Minutes later I got a call from a police officer who was in his car, starting at mine. Apparently, one of our "neighbors" on the street behind our house, had "borrowed" my car while I was out of town. Her "roommate" had reported it to the police the day she took it and they had been following her since. She had claimed that I let her borrow the car and her "roommate" said that wasn't true. They couldn't do anything but keep an eye on her until I called and reported it stolen. At that moment, she had packed up her kids and seemed like she was heading out of town. The timing was perfect.
I think this is a good time to give you a bit more insight. We lived in an old Victorian house that was on a strip right across from the college. Since no one wanted to live near the college, this strip was filled with other students renting the houses. Now no one wants to live near the college or the row of student filled houses, therefore, the streets behind our house were inhabited by some less desirable neighbors. The neighbor that stole my car claimed to know me, and she was partially correct. A few times a week, her 5-6 yr old son would come and hang out on our porch while his mommy was "busy with her friends." I guess that qualifies us as friends who let other friends borrow their car…. and the person who call the police when she took the car, was her live-in "boss," who said felt like it was his duty to look out for us, being that we were a house full of young girls. Are you catching on to any of this? Said Best Friend/Car Thief was a prostitute and the good Samaritan was her boss, the pimp. Needless to say, the car was filled with lots of gross things and she damaged my electrical trying to use the cigarette lighter that was permanently stuck. (Said car was sold soon after.)
Still to this day, I am not sure what to make of this experience. At the time I didn't know Jesus the way I do now. I wasn't a Christian and I didn't go to church. I lived for myself and thought I had it all under control. I wonder how I would have reacted, if I had been walking with God, clearly He was present in the situation.
This isn't the prostitute I aim to be more like. Just the only real one I've ever met. When someone says prostitute, I think of her. How sad it was that she even attempted this debacle that was never going to work. How hopeless she must have felt and how her boss, protector (pimp), had turned on her instantly. How desperate she must be to live in that situation after all of this happened, and with a kid. Now, I wish I had helped her more.
My prostitute however, is named Rahab.
A Harlot from the bible who became an unlikely heroine, and an essential part of bringing God into this world. (You can find her story HERE)
I wonder just how similar Rahab was to the lady who stole my car. Was she hopeless and close to hitting her rock bottom? Was she disregarded by society and treated poorly by even the people closest to her? Did she make up excuses to tell herself things were a different way than they actually were? I don't know. What I do know though, is that she wasn't the picture of someone who would help to bring Jesus into this world. Probably not someone I would entrust to help some of the people who were pivotal to the Christian story. I don't think that there was even a glimmer of thought, that she would be someone that was trusted and used by God to do important things.
In the end, Rahab the prostitute, never lost her title. She is wasn't know as "the woman who is no longer a prostitute," she was, and always will be known as the prostitute who was used by God. Defined by her redemption and grace. What made this possible? What made her worthy?
She had and showed an intense amount of faith. She has nothing to lose so she put her all into it and dove right in to help. Because of her proclamation and her unwavering faith, she was transformed and used in more ways than she would ever know while here on Earth. She was not only chosen, but she was worthy, useful, loved.
In an article I was reading I came across this quote written by Angie Smith "He loves to take the underdog and show them that they are not who they thought they were."
Did you catch that?
God wants to show you that you aren't WHO YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE. Not who you used to be, not who you want to be, but who you yourself made up in your own head. The person who is holding you back. God is trying to show you that you are NOT this person. You are useful and needed. Educated and experienced. Severely loved despite your mistakes. There is absolutely no doubt, Rahab is my favorite character in the bible, not because she turns it all around and cleans herself up, I love her because she is so severely damaged. I love her because she is deemed so dirty and worthless that she is cast out and disrespected by people who have never even REALLY met her. Her mistakes. Her choices. Her mere inability to meet the requirement for any of God's callings. When I look in the mirror at myself, I see her. I see a heart that feels weighed down by my own expectations and impossible standards. I see her unflinching bravery as she helps protect these so very important men, all because of her strong faith. But more than anything, I see a woman who was defined by her Savior and not her sin.
And as soon as we heard it, our hearts melted, and there was no spirit left in any man because of you, for the LORD your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath. – Joshua 2:11
So again I say, I NEED to be more like this one prostitute that I know. I want to have faith like Rahab.
Have you met Rahab? If not check her out in Joshua 2.
Which Bible Character resonates with you?

Fuel Bag Program & Food Pantry
At GraceWorks, we seek ways to expand our services to help those in our community who are hurting. Last year we became aware of the lack of food security for children in some of our local schools. Some children who are on the free/reduced lunch program at school do not have enough food at home on the weekends or holidays away from school.
GraceWorks is in urgent need of several items for its food pantry. They particularly need items for weekly FUEL bags, which provide nutritious food on the weekends to students on the free/reduced lunch program. Fuel Bags are small bags filled with nutritious and easily prepared food items. Each Friday teachers discreetly pack the Fuel Bags in the children's backpacks before they leave for the weekend, helping to supplement their food at home. GraceWorks has provided 211 FUEL bags to three elementary schools. This is a considerable increase over last year, and supplies are dwindling fast. Items containing protein are really needed.
Needed for
(individual sizes only, please): cereals, pudding cups, gelatin cups, 4-oz. canned fruit cups, 8-oz. shelf-stable boxed milk, tuna or chicken salad with crackers and microwavable individual meals such as macaroni and cheese, spaghetti with meatballs and lasagna. Snack packs containing cheese provide much-needed protein.
also needs regular-sized items for the many families we serve. Right now the shelves for many personal hygiene items are empty, and those cannot be purchased with food stamps.
Needed for the

How To Limit Windows Update Download Speed Using This Hidden Setting
How ToWindows September 23, 2017 Arjun Singh 0
Windows Updates consuming all available bandwidth has been a pain since the release of Windows 10. That's because Microsoft's popular OS doesn't allow you to pause updates. The only thing you can do is set a connection as metered.Microsoft isn't completely unaware of the problem users face because of Windows Updates. They have worked out a couple of options to put a check on the download and upload bandwidth for Windows Updates.
The ability to limit Windows Update download and upload speed was first added in Windows Insider Build 16241, released in July. Now, the said change can be found in Insider Builds pushed through the RS3_RELEASE branch, for both slow and fast rings.
You might be knowing, features available in the 'not Skip Ahead' Insider Builds would land on your PC with the Fall Creators Update in October. So, you can delight yourself with the fact that a download speed limiter is coming for Windows Updates.
How to limit download speed in Windows 10?
Please note that, for now, you would require a "not Skip Ahead" Windows Insider Build to be running on your PC in order to control the Windows Update download bandwidth. If you have one, then follow the steps mentioned below:
- Open the Settings app.
- Go to Update & Recovery.
- In the Windows Update section, click Advanced Options.
- On the next screen, click Delivery Optimization.
- Under Delivery Optimization, click Advanced Options.
- On the next screen, you'll find the slider to choose how much percentage of bandwidth you want to allocate to Windows Update. The slider can be enabled by checking the box that says "Limit how much bandwidth is used for downloading updates in the background".
Similarly, you can choose the upload bandwidth for Windows Update and monthly upload limit. Windows 10 includes the functionality to push Windows Updates to other PCs on the network.
The only problem with this feature is that you can't choose a number while allocating bandwidth. You'll be able to control the bandwidth setting on your Windows 10 PC once the Fall Creators Update is released.

CAD Drafter
Use computer graphics to create detailed 3-D designs and blueprints.
What does a CAD Drafter do?
A Computer Aided Design Drafter, or CAD Drafter, creates technical drawings using computer graphics. CAD Drafters are found in many industries, from engineering to garment design to aeronautical drafting. It is useful wherever design details can be translated into a computer model for greater accuracy and ease of exhibition.
To be a CAD Drafter, you should be very detail oriented. You create 3-D models and blueprints of designs, and your work is presented to clients, Contractors, Engineers and Managers. So every little detail needs to be correct, from notes on what type of wood should be used to what pipe size is needed.
Daily tasks could include meeting with a Designer to understand their ideas and notes, creating the graphs, models, or representations needed to accurately portray their idea, and reviewing your work to make sure it is accurate and understandable. So there is not a huge creative component to this position- instead you are using your proficiency in computer graphics to translate rough drafts into final, polished versions.

Skilled managers lead staff effectively, whatever their personality and skills while supervising staff, complex tasks, and projects. When they do this well, the team is engaged and more productive, customers are satisfied, and therefore the company's overall profitability increases. However, training is crucial to develop these "next level" skills.
Managers are often promoted to team leading roles because they did very well and exceeded their targets when they were part of the team. They are expected to swiftly acquire supervisory skills, and to bring together a range of employees and personalities, so that they meet the team's targets. Motivated managers can do this effectively – with the right training.
This one day course via the Chamber of Commerce includes several discussions and interactive exercises along with ample opportunity to practice coaching skills. Upon completion of this training, delegates will be confident to implement the many new tools and skills they have acquired such as:
- Develop coaching relationships with staff.
- Support their staff develop a sense of belonging within the team.
- Confidently use listening, reflecting, and other skills in one-to-one meetings with staff; including giving feedback.
- Set suitable boundaries with staff.
- In collaboration with staff, develop achievable goals; and support staff to succeed in these goals.

Ubisoft stole the show this year with multiple titles. New, breakthrough ones such as Mario Rabbids: Kingdom Takeover. A sequel to a fan favorite, South Park: Fractured But Whole. and returning to their well-noted series comes Assassin's Creed: Origins.
Assassin's Creed: Origins follows the story of Bayek, a Medjay, as he works to protect his people. The setting for this AC, which is well known to follow historical events, is in Ancient Egypt. This game will act as the prequel to the whole series, portraying the original struggle of the Assassins versus the Templars.
AC: Origins is an action-adventure game, and follows similar mechanics to the last Assassin's Creeds. That includes stealth mode. following missions, rescuing people, creating chaos, fighting evil, and learning about history as you play throughout the game.
The differences that Origins has compared to it's predecessors is that its melee battle mode is different, there isn't as many high towers to jump from, you get to access a hawk (Senu) and see from his point-of-view, there is help throughout the game to help you follow your missions and stay on track, and it doesn't have multiplayer gameplay.
Kelly and Jasmin got to play the demo at E3, take a look at their review and gameplay below:

Friday (March 27th 2009)
Yesterday morning was also my weigh-in. I was so absolutely convinced I was going to have finally made my two-pound-per-week goal, after jumping up almost 500 calories to 3600. I didn't though. ED was shocked, as was I. My mom and I agreed that we would give it another week before I have to increase to 4,000 calories a day though. We decided that if I don't gain at least one pound, that I would have to up it again. :sigh: I'm kinda hoping it doesn't come to that.
Breakfast: Dorset Berries n Cherries muesli, Bear Naked trail mix, Bear Naked triple berry granola, golden raisins, almonds, and a crumbled Lemon Vanilla Cashew nectar bar. All drowned with warmed Soy Vanilla Chai protein shake and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Also a glass of plum juice and a slice of toast. Great breakfast. Not too filling at all, and it totalled up to 970 calories ^.^
Snack: Fage 2%, sliced banana, more triple-berry granola, ground flax, and honey.
Lunch: Avocado and grated carrot sammich. Sliced fuji apple. I actually ended up taking all my veggies (broccoli,cuke,tomato) and the sliced hard boiled egg and putting them into a salad bowl after the photo. I realized if I put everything into one dish it'd be less to look at. Also had an apple juice box.
Lunch dessert was the Dark Chocolate Mocha nectar bar, warmed in the microwave. Sooo good.
After lunch, I got a little surprise in the mail from...
Oikos! They sent me some great coupons,and a few free goodies. Thank you Oikos! I am so looking forward to trying their Greek yogurt. I've never really had anything organic before, so it'll be interesting to see if there really is a difference. Definitely going to the grocery store today with those coupons. Look for my review of Oikos soon!
Afternoon snack: Cottage cheese with fruit and nut granola, chopped dried figs. Loved this snack. It was light but good.
Dinner: grilled salmon (!!), pasta with olive oil, ground flax and greens. mixed veggies and peas. I also had a vanilla yogurt with crunchy peanut butter and orange marmalade for my "dessert".
I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I was actually a vegan/vegetarian before starting recovery. The only reasons why I have given it up are because I wanted to prove to my family (and perhaps myself?) that my vegan choice was not and eating-disorder driven one, and also because with the amount of food I need to eat, it does get very expensive. And vegan/veggie options are more often than not a bit on the pricey side. Do I intend on going back to vegetarian? Whole-heartedly. I much prefer vegetarian foods. I don't really even like fish, but I agreed to being pescatarian for the duration of my refeeding/weight gain process.
Nighttime snack: Oats with vanilla caramel coffee creamer, cinnamon brown sugar. Topped with sliced strawberries, strawberry preserves and nutella. First time trying this combination. So. awesome. This was possibly the best "dessert oatmeal" ever.
One more time, up close and personal? I think so.
I am definitly having this again tonight. It was really that good.
I hope you all are having a fabulous weekend. Mine has gotten off to a fairly good start. Hopefully it'll stay that way. I'm feeling pretty good with everything at the moment (ok, its 5:40AM - what could possibly be happening right now anyways?) but I think its a sign for good things to come.

CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so proud of the way you keep bouncing back from the knock-downs and pushing yourself further. You rock. I am doing my 'challenge' today and that first bite will be in honour of YOU. Mwah.ReplyDelete
yay tori awesome job yesterday! you're doing everything perfectly, incorporating dense cals so you don't get too sick and learning what you like to eat as you begin to eat more which will obviously make you such a more normal eater once you restore your weight. you've really accomplished so much and come such a long way, great job with all the challenges and creative recipes- hope today goes just as well!ReplyDelete

Great job on the different eats.ReplyDelete
It's awesome how resilient you are and how you keep bouncing back and challenging yourself even when things don't work out as planned.
I'm glad you're having such a positive day! Everyone has already said it, but you're such a fighter and it's amazing how you can bounce back like this. Sorry your weight gain isn't coming along very fast! You're doing such a great job with dense foods though. Enjoy your weekend! Much loveReplyDelete
iam so proud of how well you are doing..dont let the non weight gain discourage you..you can do it and you are doing great with your meals. you are an inspiration girly! have a great Saturday!ReplyDelete
You're doing so amazing!! And that desert oatmeal? Oh gosh, I'm trying that tonight!!ReplyDelete
I know I've said this SO many times before, but I really look up to you during this whole recovery process. I read your blog every morning and for the rest of the day I keep in mind how much you ate. I know it may sound terrible, but you and I both know that you have a fast metabolism! And I feel as if I do too...so knowing that I'm not the only one is such a comfort to me.
I'm not sure if I mentioned this but when I was in the hospital a few years ago they had me on a 3500 calorie a day meal plan, and I spent most days on bed rest because I didn't make the cutoff for amount of weight gained.
Oh memorriieesss =P
Have a LOVELY day miss Tor!!
congratulations on your amazing day! i know the non-weight gain is frustrating - ive always had a fast metabolism and with my hyperthyroid, weight dot not come on, especially in recovery. i am going through a rough time right now and i now i can do (and have done) so much better. but you're my inspiration - you continue to put in 110% everyday and you stick to it! you are amazing. im so glad you decided to start blogging <3
enjoy the oikos! they send me coupons last week and its very good, so creamy :)
love your dessert oatmeal too - must try that soon!!!
enjoy your weekend darling,
love brooke
Tori, you ROCK my socks off!!! You're so awesome! Seriously, whereabout in the US are you? Because I'll totally come visit and eat with you :) Don't worry about the weight gain, you're doing everything you can and your body will catch up soon enough, it took several weeks at 4000 for me to jumpstart it and I was able to slowly lower after that. I got some Oikos coupons online too! So i'll be trying those soon though I'm not sure if they have full fat? If you're up for it I would recommend fage total, or if you have it in your region, try Greek Gods honey flavored, it's like 360 cals a cup or more and the taste is divine.ReplyDelete
Keep up the fight! and sooo happy you had a good date too!
- AnonymousMarch 28, 2009 at 7:25 PM
i love your blog!!! i am trying to gain weight too and it really inspires/motivates me and gives me good ideas. thank you so much for doing this and even though you didn't gain, you are still doing amazing and should be so proud of that! :)ReplyDelete
Hi, love your blog and the cute name! Try not to feel too glum about not meeting your weight gain goals, at least you're doing the work to get healthy! All your eats look so yummy, especially those pretty oats!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMarch 29, 2009 at 1:08 PM
Hi girl - I just discovered your blog, and really, I'm in AWE of your strength. You are such a fighter!ReplyDelete
That dessert after din dins - ohmigod. Looks so delish!
Hi Tori,ReplyDelete
I just found your blog and wanted to say hi. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts about the new Greek yogurt - sounds yummy. My dietician has talked about how your metabolism will often kick-start once you start eating regularly again, and how frustrating it can be to keep adding and adding only to feel like nothing is changing. I really admire you for sticking with it and not becoming frustrated. All of your meals look so healthy and delicious!

Cleantech and sustainable solutions are increasingly more important in future construction projects. In the spring of 2016 a new pool area utilizing latest cleantech technology will be opened in Helsinki city's Katajanokka. Eco-friendliness and sustainability are the key issues in designing Helsinki Allas and Finnish spruce tree will be used in its construction. The pool area consist of two standard pools, a children's pool, a diving pool and a café. Responsible use of the Baltic Sea has been taken into account and a center dedicated to the Baltic Sea will be built in the area. There will also be a special showroom to present the ecological solutions of different cleantech actors.
A group funding has been organized to fund the construction of the Helsinki Allas. The target is to raise at least 500 000 euros. Any amount between 200 and 12 000 euros can be invested. The investors will become shareholders and members of the owners' club. Other benefits will also be gained from bath towels, season tickets and deck chairs to invitations to VIP events. Dividends can be paid in the year 2019 at the earliest. Time to invest is until the 27th of October 2015.
Projects similar to Helsinki Allas are in the making also in the Oulu area. A project to build a sea park in the seaside of Oulu is under planning. CEEs Arctic Sea Park will be an area consisting of a green house, several pools, a smoke sauna and a cleantech showroom. The park is intended to be completed in the spring of 2017. If the group funding method used in the funding of Helsinki Allas proves to be successful it can be utilized in the Arctic Sea Park project as well.

Refin creates Kaos!
Luca Nichetto has created Kaos, a new range of ceramic tiles for Refin. Kaos is part of the groundbreaking DesignTaleStudio project that pioneers the use of the aesthetic and technical potential of ceramic tiles for Refin, Italy's renowned tile manufacturer, which is now launching officially in the UK.
As the name suggests, Kaos is designed to be wildly random even though there may be small and subtle pattern changes. The tiles have a textured surface that resembles floating bubbles in relief and the result is a refreshingly new, non-repetitive design with a distinct identity. Kaos can be used in both residential and commercial projects.
Practical, easy to clean, low maintenance ceramic tiles for floors and walls, Kaos offers a complete collection in a wide range of sizes, both square and rectangular, in a range of 10 shades of warm and cool tones (across the grey and beige spectrum) with a selection of accent colours in red, blue, yellow and black & white combinations.
Refin, established in 1962, is one of Italy's most important ceramic tile manufacturers and is now launching officially in the UK. With an outstanding portfolio of design tiles Refin captures the spirit of Italian flair and craftsmanship that is associated with its tile industry. Quality, innovation and creativity are the mainstays of the Refin ethos.
Luca Nichetto was born in Venice and after graduating in industrial design he started to collaborate with Salviati and Foscarini. In 2006, he founded his own agency, Nichetto & Partners, dealing with industrial design and design consulting. Luca is currently working with many internationally renowned companies, such as Bonaldo, Bosa, Casamania by Frezza, Emmegi, Established & Sons, Foscarini, Fratelli Guzzini, Gallotti & Radice, Italesse, Kristalia, Moroso, Offecct, Salviati and Venini. In 2009 he created the Essence collection, jointly produced by Bosa and Venini, displayed at a touring exhibition which opened at the Laboratorio 2729 in Venice, then at the 107 Rivoli in Paris and at the Vessel Gallery in London.
Amongst the numerous awards he has won, Luca Nichetto was awarded the Elle Decoration
International Design Awards 2009 (EDIDA) in the Young Designer Talent category 2009.
